For-Profit Media Inflate Circulation

From today's Washington Post: "Three newspapers admitted they had inflated circulation figures in recent years, reflecting the pressure they feel working for publicly traded companies that are themselves under pressure from Wall Street. Tribune Co. said the numbers had been boosted for its Newsday and Hoy newspapers last year and early this year. Hollinger International said its Chicago Sun-Times had done the same "for years." The revelations came as many newspaper companies are raising ad rates and cutting staff."
